I clearly had no clue what I was in for because I walked away from that with a complete new outlook on starting a business. It’s very apparent that Spiro thinks a big key to success is enjoying your job because he kept going on and on about loving your job. It's imperative because it allows you to constantly keep working hard every day and enjoying it. Just because you are driven to find success doesn’t mean it will motivate you everyday to keep going, you need something that you genuinely enjoy.

I never realised that my dad wasn’t a businessman. He was a guy who loved construction and figured out how to make the thing he loved the most into a business. As he said “If you put effort into something you love, you will be very good at it” More than ever I realize that you can’t just work hard at a job you hate or not work too hard at a job your talented at, you need to find a good balance of both.

That is the key to success.

After taking business classes in highschool I was very curious as to how my dad had done everything by the book. I decided to interview him for a my humanities curiosity conversation and try to understand his thought process on finding success.

I interviewed my father for about 25 minutes and was honestly really shocked by how wise he was. He has gotten to a point in his career where he is able to look back on his success and understand what got him to the point he is at. He was so disappointed he had to end the interview to go to a meeting but made sure to continue the conversation with me for the next few dinners.

My dad was always very serious when handling his construction company and struck a fear in his employees. However, they admired him very much and always showed respect and loyalty to my father. Any time a problem arose or a good operator was needed, he would be the first one hopping on the Bobcat or into the excavated basement to show them how it's done. Once he was in a machine we knew it meant he wasn’t coming out for at least 5 or more hours.

He was a kid at heart.

I first became aware of my dads genius the day I was born but it wasn’t till later in life that I discovered all the amazing accomplishments he had made in starting his own company.

His constant dedication to his company, and great success over the years inspired me to want to start a business of my own. While I always knew that he started a construction company with just one truck, I wasn’t sure how he went from that to owning hundreds of trucks and machines.
